I brought a 2005 6i silver for 18,199$ from quirk mazda in quincy mass.He is selling all of his stock at invoice + 100 and then i added 2000+1000 rebate and zoom zoom 500$
to get to that price - sticker was 24,599.
He threw in lug locks for free and i put a lo jack.
with tax/tile otd was 20,500
I got a free oil change and when i went in they even cleaned and took care of some black spots on the body work
for free.
I got a bad rate from dealer but AAA refinanced it for 4.99 so it was a good deal and got to pick up the 1000$ rebate.The 90 day the above post talks about is for the dealer to get this incentive and not for us.I refianced 3 days after purchase as it was a friday evening purchase.
Now they reflashed the ECU and on my first gas fill i just hit 30.8 mpg...impressive i do some aggresive 2nd gear redling run on a little 8 mile stretch on the way to work.
and drive 30-40% back roads.
So, you are saying that you financed with Mazda, got the 1000 rebate, and then refinanced 3 days later! I was told that for ME to get the rebate, I had to wait 90 days, or I would be charged a penalty. They did tell me that I could pay off in full at anytime with no penalty. I have to go back today to finish some paperwork, so I will double check.
I would also still love to know how yall think I did with my purchase. It is my first one and I worry that I didn't do good, I think that is my mother's fault!! haha...
Your did fine...enjoy your new car.
anyone else find that getting into gear smoothly is more difficult than other cars? my honda was much easier to shift without lurching...maybe i just need to get a bit more familiar with it.
has anyone bought the organizer for that goes in the hatch area? looks like it might rattle a lot on bumpy roads... would be nice though since there aren't any grocery bag hooks in the back (dumb design if you ask me...).
also went to car toys to see about adding other stereo. with the big plate that has the stereo controls and HVAC controls, have to buy a 200$ plate then buy the stereo and install on top of that! ouch! too bad no rca or headphone jack input for walkman/ipod. this can be added aftermarket though...thinking if i can put the input in the armrest area would be perfect.
before buying the 6, drove accord v-6 w/ six speed, altima, subaru legacy non turbo and turbo. accord and legacy really expensive (probably 6k more for similar power). thought interior of both better than the 6, but no hatchback (which looks awesome imo and is really functonal). altima was too floaty in how it rides. not tight and responsive like the 6 or legacy. warranty on the 6 is also very good (hope i don't have to use it...).
so now, just have to get windows tinted and i will be done! just love driving this car!
also, if you're in portland, check out premiere mazda in oregon city...seem to be great guys. not high pressure at all and were very helpful. also good guys to talk to about other stuff.
sorry about this being so long, but hope it helps some of you who are looking.
I was told by the salesperson that that was okay did not effect him...
i am now even more confused as why would a salesperson say so and then loose money?I rechecked with him on the 90 day clause which he refused existed and asked me to refinace in a week.
Price wise you did a good job. Pricing on a car is dependent on many variables and also the people need to make some money .

but i think that the styling of the car has been softened a bit which for me was one of the appealing things about the 6; the aggressive stance it had fit it's driving personality.
in the end though, you have to be happy with the car that you decide to buy...i just have to wonder how much they will be discounting the 06. keep us posted if you get a quote.
I get that weird lurshing type of thing when switching gears too. i'm attributing that to it not being as refined as a toyota or honda. But who knows...my check engine light came on a few days ago for two days, then went back off...really weird. So I'm bringing it in tomorrow and see if they find anything. I thought you needed to plug the car into turn the engine light off.
I am planning to buy a mazda, so here are my options:
Option 1: Mazda6, 2006, V4, the cheapest of the Models, but I am gonna have them add Leather Seats and Rear Spoiler, out of the door price (including taxes and all that junk) is $19K
Option 2: Mazda6, 2005, V6, its the 5 Door Model, it comes with every extra posibble, moonroof, leather seats, etc, etc. Its a Demo car, so it has about 6k miles.
The out the door price is 24.5k (Which I am hoping to bring down to at least 22.5K)
Are these good prices for these cards?
one thing to add to my experience so far...just did a thorough detailing of my car today (wash, clay bar, wax) and found a huge amount of black tar-like spots all over the car (my car is a dark grey and was not very visible...perhaps i was too attached to my "baby" to see the blemishes). the dealership i bought the car from had recently had the road paved in front of it so maybe this is where these came from. use goo gone and this seemed to take these spots off very nicely. after the wax and clay bar (if you haven't used a clay bar before, it's amazing! makes the finish so much smoother by removing contaminates from the paint) all is well. the longer i have this car, the more i'm appreciating it's handling.
I am thinking of offering $16,500 (including 3500 rebates) due to the condition and demo status. Am I lowballing far too much?
MSRP 23,310 (with destination and regional adjustment)
Edmunds invoice: $21,518 (with destination and regional adjustment)
Area: 50010
The dealer offered $21,000(out of door and without $1000 MAC and $500 gas card). Dealer wants me to respond by Jan 2.
Could you please give me some suggestions for this price?
Thanks a lot!!
Also checked carsdirect.com. The price it quotes for a same model in our area is $19268 (after 1500 incentive, 500 MAC and 500 bonus). I don't understand why they provide a different MAC and where this 500 bonus comes from.
In the previous message, I didn't make it clear that it is not that we have to respond by Jan 2. We actually went ot the dealer today and got a agreement for 21,000 (outofdoor price, will be 20,000 after MAC). The payment is subject to finance and test-drive, which means that if we are not satisfied with the test-drive, we don't need to make the payment.
So, what do you think? If the deal sounds not good, can we refuse this price?
Thanks in advance.

Not sure yet what rebates he's talking about, but anybody know of any more rebates coming up later in '06 that I should wait for (like zoom-zoom or Gerber)? I've never bought a new car before so I'd appreciate any help/advice, thanks!
I was thinking about getting a mazda6 last year but decided to hold out. Now i am reconsidering and am glad I did since the rebates have increased for '05's. I think its up to 4 grand if you finance through mazda. I am looking at a 05s grand touring, sticker price $27,195. The only extra options it has are wheel locks and floor mats.Since they are trying to get rid of last year models and I'm apart of the xplan , I am sure i can get at invoice which is about 24,602 minus rebates leaves around 20,000. Do you guys think i could get it any lower since its last years model?
You'll receive your X/S-Plan price minus any applicable incentives available. There are, at times, additional programs only available to X/S-Plan eligible purchasers.
Just ask the dealer and provide proof of your X/S-Plan eligibility... they are required to show invoice and accomodate you with the current programs and incentives you're entitled to receive.
You're on your own regarding trade-ins and aftermarket products. Accept if it all works within what you're seeking to accomplish.

My friend got one with this price. How can she talk this price to reality! I am thinking about getting myself one as well.
Could you please tell me what additional charges were added to this price? Does this price include the destination charge? I am helping my mom, who lives in the Fort Lauderdale area of Florida and is elderly, purchase a car. We are thinking of the same configuration as yours, but would add the convenience package, because she wants the adjustable power driver's seat. (Coupling this with alloy wheels seems silly.)
Thanks!
My kid's a senior up at Phillips Exeter in New Hampshire. How far away are y'all from there? Will be up there in June for graduation.

transmission. The car also has front, side and curtain
airbags. Sticker was 24650.00 I paid 17900.00 after rebates. Did I get a good deal, or could I have done better?

I am looking for MAZDA6 i with manual trans. I am in Poughkeepsie NY. Any one had a great deal with dealers in NY or NJ? How much will be a good target price to deal?
Thanks,
Using CarsDirect pricing ($24,059 for regular options) I threw out some feelers by email to several dealers. Got one reply quickly for $23,550.
Just want to know if I should be looking to negotiate harder for a lower price considering the time of the year. What do y'all think.
2005 MAZDA 6 SPORT GS V6, 4dr, Sedan, Blue, Manual, FWD, 3.0L, Cylinder 6, Gas, Air Conditioning, Alarm, Alloy Wheels, AM/FM Stereo, Anti-Lock Brakes, Anti-Theft, Bucket Seats, CD Player, Cruise Control, Dual Air Bag, Fog Lights, Heated Mirrors, Keyless Entry, Power Brakes, Power Locks, Power Mirrors, Power Seat, Power Windows, Rear Defroster, Side Impact Air Bag, Spoiler, Sunroof, Tilt Steering, Traction Control, Mazda 6 Sport liftback, 220hp V6, GRX pkg., Moonroof, Side Airbags, 8-way power driver's seat. Asking price is $27,450.00
Best out the door price I'm getting with rebates, taxes, tire tax, inspection, destination charge and title (everything but DMV) is $25,742. If dealer invoice is actually $25,572 and destination is $560 and dealer incentives/rebates are $3,250, factoring in CT sales tax I should be paying $24,254 if purchased at invoice. Is my information correct? Does anyone have an opinion on where I should end up on this car? Many thanks.
The car is a 2004 Mazda 6 S hatchback automatic...has 17300 miles on it...exterior gray...excellent condition
I am going to negotiate the price of the new car before I tell them about the trade
Plz clarify the $3250.....is that rebates plus dealer discount? The reason I ask is the vehicle incentives are not $3250 but $2500 if you finance thru mazda credit.
2.3L w 5 speed manual. Options were sport grille - $100, side airbags/curtains - $500 and CA emission - $100. Total sticker price was $20,370. Discounted price was $14,277 which includes the $2000 rebate. I passed on the $500 MAC financing discount since the rate was 8.9% and I had an E-loan check at 5.75%. Out the door price was $15,760.
Buying experience was painless. They didn't even give me the hard sell on the paint sealant but I think that was just because it was Sunday evening near closing time..lol
As for the car, it looks fantastic: Tungsten grey, 18 inch alloys, leather interior. My last car was a Volvo 850 sportswagon with 180K that went 0 to 60 in about a minute. While I was buying the Mazda more for value than performance, I'm still a little bit disappointed with the "zoom zoom" in 1st and 2nd gear. It doesn't get off the line like some of the more performance oriented cars that I have driven like the Audi S4 or even the Acura TL. Nevertheless, in 3rd gear it seems to hit its stride and can really move.
I have no idea what peoople were talking about regarding the turning radius--a complete non-issue.
I also have no idea if there are any squeeks because I always have the Bose 6cd changer or radio on. Anyone who doesn't like the sound from the system just didn't figure out how to adjust the fader.
My two small children had more than enough room in the back seat and liked having an air conditioner that really worked.
Aside from the red interior dashboard lighting with is simply a personal dislike and the lack of automatic headlights (can't even leave in on position), the car's fantastic. It's been a week and I have received a number of compliments. Interestingly, I have not seen another car like it on the road that I travel on. For me, that's a nice plus!
are you saying you got the mazda6 i manual for 14,277 + ttl for a total of $15,760? that's phenomenal... the invoice for your car is 19008 (incl dest)... less $2k rebate brings their cost to 17008... how could they go another ~2700 lower than "invoice"... am i missing something or do they just discount that much?
i'm looking to get an equally amazing deal if possible for an auto hatchback i sport as in my previous post...
thanks.
